HHG have no fear you just faced the most recent power creep army. 

The disc lord and the demon price are just stupid, they take zero thought. A player can  just push them across the board and fling some purple suns around too boot.

I have read all your Griffon posts here and you actually did something inventive and challenging, it took planning and tactics. I have faced it from other empire players that emulated you, its a great concept and its fun to play against.

I cant say the same for the current WoC.

Lore of heavens him!

I think outriders get a vanguard, which sets them up really well to blow things up and control an area with their shooting.

Empire Knights are really tough.  Not too many units can get past the 1 up armor save.  A couple big units of the Reiks and the other strong ones with all your chars in there.  The rest as 5 man units for Flank protection, diverting, wm hunting etc.

All knights list can work and work well.

Chum dont be down on yourself, you are the most prolific painter I have seen on all the websites, and your work is second to none.

I fought one last night, over three rounds I did 6 wounds to it. 

One was caused by a str 10 miscast.

Three were caused when the tank rolled tripple ones for armor save on three wounds.

The others were a wound per round. 

I had the beast banner on Gors ST4 Bsb was STR5 and for one round I had Wildform on them as well.  I didnt hurt me, but it still is a mighty good tarpit.

Held me up long enough for the Chiken Knights to get in my flank.  Funny thing is they ran but the tank of course didnt.

An Ogre player.......

 

I would like to see you run this campaign again with a different army I have a feeling your results would be the same. 

You seem to find a way to win.

That means you (the general)  are the game breaker, not the particular tool (the army) you use.

 

Nice report cant wait to see the ending.

I have to say I wish they wouldnt take any items from any army set, I think it is a lot of fun to come up with different combinations. 

Here are some that I think will go away/get changed:

Imperial Banner
Steel Standard
Rod of Power
Van Horstmann's Speculum
Armour of Meteoric Iron


Just to name a few.  I think we have 46 magic items at the moment. 

Tomb Kings went from 35 down to 8.

Why on earth give people fewer ways to have fun?

Having read Smiths thread as well as the one by the High Elf player (Swordmaster?) I think the style is great.  Here is a guy who managed to find  a way to play that was fun, challenging and different.  He did so without  parroting what every other player does and  he did it without overpowered Lores.  His List has pistoleers and knights in it, a couple mortars  one standard big block of Halbs that is basically a decoy and a bunch of small units.  Captns on Pegs which more often or not seem to be there for comic relief.  What makes the units good is the bating he uses so he can line up the flank charges and rear charges.

When I read his reports I dont see any of the smaller units refered to as detachments and I dont really see the detachment style come into play.  I would like to see how the detachment system would work out with MSU seems like it would be really neat.

There was a recent tourney won by a TK guy with Kalida and 80 archers, thats a lot of bones on the field of play.

This was a nice report, Mr. Chumley is not only a prolific painter but he also like to take the boys out of the cabinet for a spin!
